What Is Success Worth To You?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Andrews/AspireNow.com) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:34:32 PST

Regarding how you view success, may I ask you a simple question?"When you consider the PRICE of success, what is it WORTH to you?" Why do I ask this?Well, the fact is you will usually have to give up something to get something in life. Success is no different. Either you'll have to give up your steady job to focus on that part-time company, or you'll have to take time from sports, hobbies, or

I just heard this quote while listening to a teleconference about the top five mistakes people make online and how to avoid them:"Success leaves clues."

I've read quite a few relationship self-help books over the past ten years. As an author, coach, and speaker on the subject of improving relationships, I find it useful to check out other people's thoughts on the subject.However, this next tip is something that I wish I'd learned thirty years ago.

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Andrews/AspireNow.com) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:27:22 PDT

When you're great, you're great. Some people excel at certain things. In sports, I like to study the greats in matches that require individual greatness, such as tennis, golf, bicycling, skiing, etc. And, often, the greats perform at their best in the most difficult of circumstances, such as major tournaments.For example, of his 14 major championship tennis court victories, Pete Sampras won

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Andrews/AspireNow.com) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:50:18 PDT

Have you ever found life in a place that surrounds you?As I write this question, I remember this photo my brother took in the California desert, where he illustrated this one yellow flower, shooting up from the desert floor, somehow finding a unique and barren position to proudly spring forth a lovely bloom of yellowish white petals. No other flowers competed for attention. This one flower not

Life Ends Now - Are You Happy?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Andrews/AspireNow.com) — Mon, 25 May 2009 11:23:12 PDT

I watched a very inspiring movie last night called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Good movie with an interesting perspective about life (no, I won't spoil it here). My favorite part is when the character of Brad Pitt asked "If your life ended now, would you be happy?" He then followed that up with "If the answer to that question is 'yes', then okay,

Being Safe Or Being Great?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Andrews/AspireNow.com) — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:29:17 PDT

Are you a great leader?Right now, many people are retreating into their shells in order to be "safe". However, I'd like to pose the question: "Do you want to be SAFE? Or do you want to THRIVE?"If you want to be safe, okay, do that. Just don't complain to me in ten years that you never really lived your dreams and never reached your full potential!But if you want to THRIVE, you must take a risk

How To Get More of What You Want

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Andrews/AspireNow.com) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:09:19 PST

In a "thought for the day" from a marketing blog, I received this quote from Seth Godin:"The goal is to create a product that people love. If people love it, they'll forgive a lot. They'll talk about it. They'll promote it. They'll come back. They'll be less price sensitive. They'll bring their friends. They'll work with you to make it better."As I read this, my thought process transferred from

"This won't work."Have you ever found yourself uttering those words?I am guilty of saying those words, myself. Is this comment a form of negativity? Being real? Truthfulness? Pessimism? Maybe all of the above? But do you think it EMPOWERS the audience or TEARS THEM DOWN?There are times when we're trying to do something difficult and someone utters "this won't work."I'm going to suggest a new
